Democrat’s Interview Interrupted by Drive-By Shooting in Broad Daylight Near Public Park

As crime rates surge across the nation, most Democrats will be hiding in their gated communities with armed security, shielded from the very same crisis that their own policies created. But for one Democrat in Memphis, Tennessee, that illusion was shattered after a recent experience she had while being interviewed by a local news crew.

“Thank you for the blood of Jesus that covers us. Thank you, Father, for the blood of Jesus. Thank you, Lord.”

On Tuesday, reporters from the local station WATN-TV interviewed Democratic city council candidate Yolanda Cooper-Sutton. They were supposed to be talking about the police department’s plans to put a teen curfew in place when shots rang out from a drive-by shooting, causing Cooper-Smith and the team to run for cover.

While the show of faith was touching and meaningful, it didn’t make the entire ordeal any less disturbing. After all, it doesn’t get much more disturbing than a shooting taking place in broad daylight near a public park that has playground equipment.

The State of Crime in American Cities

Crime in Memphis and other major cities across the country is surging, and the Democrats who run the cities seem to have no interest in doing anything to solve the problem. Instead, they seem more interested in implementing soft crime policies in the name of pursuing a “woke” leftist agenda. This has only emboldened violent criminals to commit more crimes.

• Children can no longer go out in broad daylight and play in the park for fear of being shot at by criminals.
• During this terrifying ordeal, someone took the initiative to start praying for safety, and to explicitly invoke God and Jesus, something rarely seen on the news today.
• God is always there to help us not only in moments of life and death, such as being witness to a drive-by shooting but also in the ordinary struggles of everyday life.

Perhaps this experience will motivate Cooper-Smith if she is elected to advocate for stronger measures needed to stop the crime wave in her city. In addition, it might spur the city council to finally take some action to stop the rise in crime, and it also reminded viewers watching the news of the power of God to help in these situations.

This was an absolutely horrific and traumatizing event that took place, but maybe it will end up bringing some positives to the community.
